​"You shall overcome !" ​

If you wish to avail yourselves of primal prevention, you should know that the main obstacle comes from the employee/employer asymmetry which deprives you of part of your IPD to the advantage of your employer, who acquires it for free (that is, as a surplus value). In addition, as a client, you are dispossessed of yet another part of your IPD: the one corresponding to the price margins obtained by producers, advertisers and retailers who sell to you each and every item and service you might have to buy or, more often than not, are enticed into buying.

To overcome this obstacle and enjoy a primal prevention-bound twenty-one months’ respite in your life, you’ll need to keep enough of your time (that is, what’s left of your IPD, since «time is IPD») once you have covered your own basic needs. To manage this tour de force, besides devoting less of your IPD to mass-entertainment, commuting and professional activities, one major key is to avoid costly, IPD-wasting opportunities, however tempting they might be. As expressed by Christa Wolf in a concluding paragraph of Thin is the Civilization Layer, ‘We may wonder whether satisfying the desires which seem to enhance our economic system – but in fact bring about discord and the destruction of our very existence – is really indispensable. [… True,] the most difficult matter is to question those desires and needs we tend to consider natural. We refuse to believe that we could change them, dismissing such a possibility as utopian. But History is not over. And haven’t there always been men who, as they didn’t want to or couldn’t live on accepting the loss of meaning they had experienced, were at the origin of great changes? – I conclude on a note, not of certainty, but of interrogation.’[49].​Last but not least, it’s fully justified for you to seek help. You might be surprised, once you’ve explained what primal prevention is all about, to find your parents and relatives, even friends, willing to use some of their own IPD to help you at home, contribute money, or both. Indeed, in spite of the fact that the structures of our industrial societies are ever less able to maintain solidarity feelings, the prospect of partaking in primal prevention as a third-type kin caregivers might well revive such feelings in many an individual immune to the current psychosocial disease.
